Anyone figured out how to get more “human-looking” expressions in the AI models?

Elevator Pitch

I ran into the same weirdness a while back, especially with smiles that looked too stiff or eyes that didn’t quite match the mood.

Description

What helped me most was layering the emotional cues instead of dropping everything into one sentence. For example, instead of typing something like “soft smile, warm eyes, relaxed posture,” I break it into a small chain of cues, almost like describing a moment. On https://hornyai.com/nude-bot I usually do something like: “she’s trying not to laugh at something silly,” or “caught in a quiet moment while thinking about something nice.” For some reason, describing the situation makes the model generate expressions that feel more alive.

Another trick is referencing micro-expressions. Instead of “happy,” try “a very slight upward curve in the corner of her lips,” or “eyes narrowing just a bit like she’s teasing someone.” It forces the generator to think more about nuance. Also, I noticed that lighting plays a big role—dim, warm light tends to produce softer, more believable expressions, while bright studio lighting sometimes makes faces look flat or too sharp. Not sure if this is universal, but it was a pretty consistent pattern for me.
